Artist Biography For The Thermals

The Thermals Were An Indie Rock Trio From Portland Oregon. The Band Was Formed In 2002 And Released Seven Records And Toured At Least Fifteen Countries. The Thermals' Sixth LP And Debut For Saddle Creek Desperate Ground Was Produced By John Agnello Dinosaur Jr Sonic Youth In Hoboken NJ. Agnello And The Thermals Completed The Record And Evacuated The Studio Just Hours Before Hurricane Sandy Ravaged New Jersey A Fate Quite Fitting When You Consider The Product. Desperate Ground Is A True Scrappy And Scratchy Return-To-Form For The Thermals With All The Raw Power And Unhinged Adolescent Energy That Made Their Early LP's So Insanely Enjoyable. Lyrically Desperate Ground Is A Brash And Irresponsible Ode To Human Violence A Black Celebration Of The Inevitability Of War And Death. A Dark And Yet Joyous Affair Desperate Ground Tells The Murky Tale Of A Lone Rogue In The Night. One Man One Path One Sword. An Unceasing Urge To Destroy. A Never-Ending Battle Against The Forces Of Nature. A Destiny Impossible To Avoid. In Early 2013 The Thermals Signed To Saddle Creek A Label They've Known And Admired For Many Years. The Thermals And Saddle Creek Have A Long History Of Sleeping On Floors Together The Thermals Have Toured With Cursive And Ladyfinger And Hutch And Kathy Organized The First Bright Eyes Show In Portland Way Back In 1999. The Thermals Were Most Famous For Turning Down $50 000 From Hummer Discovering The Elusive Fourth Chord In Punk Rock F#m And For Soundtracking That Scene In Weeds Where Mary-Louise Parker Jumps In The Pot-Filled Pool In Her Underwear. The Thermals Announced They Were Splitting In April 2018. The Thermals Lineup Was Hutch Harris Kathy Foster And Westin Glass.
